The Baker's Dozen (concert series)

Phish had planned to perform a Baker's Dozen themed concert series since before their 2004 breakup. Keyboardist Page McConnell told Relix in 2007 that the original plan was to hold 13 concerts at either Madison Square Garden or the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. McConnell said the reason the shows were not held when originally planned because, "Even if creatively it made sense to the four of us, the management – I don't want to say they wouldn’t let us do it, but really, they just wouldn't let us do it." Each night of the residency was themed around a different variety of doughnut – and this played into the band's song selection for that night. Examples include their performance of Junior Senior's "Shake Your Coconuts" on the opening "coconut" night and covering The Velvet Underground (with "Sunday Morning") on the "red velvet" night, both of which were debuts. Each show also featured a special doughnut served each night to the audience by Federal Donuts of Philadelphia. Arguably the most well-received night of the run was July 25, the "jam-filled" night, which had extended improvisation on songs that typically did not feature them, the most infamous of which being a 30-minute version of "Lawn Boy", a track which usually does not exceed four minutes. During the "Boston Cream" night on August 5, the band performed a medley of songs by the bands Boston and Cream. ==''The Complete Baker's Dozen''==
